Twalibwene ulutanda lwakwe lulisumbukile, efyo twaishila ati tumushinshimune." 3 Imfumu Helodi pa kumfye fyo yalisakamikilwe sana pamo fye na bekashi ba mu musumba wa Yelusalemu. 4 Yalitile banshimapepo bakindami na bakafundisha ba mafunde, no kubepukisha uko Klistu ali no kufyalilwa. 5 Balimwasukile ati, "Ni mu mushi wa Betelemu mu kyalo kya Yudea pantu efyalembele kasesema,

6 ‘Webo Betelemu wa mu kyalo kya Yuda, wi ibonati uliwakepeshapo pa misumba ya Yuda, pantu ni muli webo wine emukafuma kateeka, umukemi wa Islaeli, abantu bangi.’"
